Its like someone asks "what was the coolest car ever made" and instead of saying Ferrari, Bugatti or even a Corvette , you reply a 1972 Ford pickup truck! Uggh!

COOLEST ever built, hands down my vote is for this!


Burlington Pioneer Zephyr!

Looks like its going 100 standing still.

For shame, you don't even list lotus in you cars, I would acutally pick a 1940 Ford anyways. Of course the best train is UP 4-8-4 FEF 3 s those could just about fly.

WOW WOW WOW!!!. what about the the 60 series?..I am a huge fan of the SP GP60..well actually Im a big SP fan all together!..those engines have a boxy, bulky, powerful, take no prisoner look to them, and thats just down right cool, they look good as NS units too..

Best-looking are the F's, but my FAVORITE is the BQ23-7.

I'm casting my vote for the SDP40 and SDP45, the ultimate passenger locomotives from the pre-Amtrak period.

Also in the running are these export designs: DL500C (Alco's World Locomotive) and the AT26C (Australian, looks like an FP45 with a bulldog nose).

Everyone knows without doubt that the Alco PA1 was undoubtably the finest looking locomotive ever built.[:)]

I used to think that the coolest engines around were the ones like the Centennials, or the U50s. then I took a look around at what the shortlines were using in the arera I was living at the time. All Geeps. That sealed it for me. GP 7s and GP 9s.

Has to be the Baldwin Shark Nose. Saw too many E's and F's, and even Alcos weren't a big change. That underswept nose was a pleasant change. [:)]

GE's Dash 8's. I don't know why but C&NW's standard cabs look great and so do those fat nose ex-Conrail ones with the high headlights.

Absolutely. I have seen a few Ex- Northwestern Dash 8s her in the Chicago area. In fact. I think I saw the Wyoming Centenial one, only the logo seemed peeled off[:(]
